Recent developments in Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL) have led language teachers to engage in designing online learning activities to suit their learners’ particular needs by integrating current Web 2.0 tools into their teaching practices. This article will focus on the InGenio Authoring Tool and Learning Environment designed by the CAMILLE Research Group at the Universitat Politécnica (UPV) in Valencia, Spain and will describe one of the courses for learners of English designed and published on the Internet using this tool. To conclude, the article will refer to user satisfaction by discussing some of the findings resulting from evaluation questionnaires.
